I can't see my way when shame is covering my eyes* Carry a flame for me that I might make it; Faltering forward as the time. I can leave no traces Or I can move the stars in space; But I can say nothing for the weight of the action that lies like scars upon my face. But I will say for you anything you need to hear ... I mean it; Take the longing from these restless eyes And keep it for as long as you need it. I mean it; Take the longing from me. I won't see you changing should you remember me somehow. What in the world would make me feel that way When nothing on earth would make me now? All I ever wanted was something that I have never seen. And all that I ever offered was something that I have never been; But I will play for you any part you need, my love ... I mean it; Take the longing from these restless eyes And keep it for as long as you need. I mean it; Take the longing from me. I can't make things right, baby But you know that I will try. Say that I waited from now till forever; Say that my tongue should never speak; Say that I stayed here and lay down beside you; Say that I buried my mouth in your hair.
